Nouveaux corps de sensibilité: Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze

Évelyne Gossman, full professor in French literature at the Université Paris 7 - Denis Diderot, will give the conference "Nouveaux corps de sensibilité: Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze", on the literary, philosophical and artistic exploration of the new bodies of sensitivity developed during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Based on texts by authors such as Barthes, Blanchot, Beckett, Deleuze and Lacan, among others, Grossman will reflect on the different modes of weakness, frailty and vulnerability of sexual differences, in order to raise the concept of receptive hipersensitivity to the status of a critical tool. The conference will be in French.
